This position also enabled me to strengthen my understanding of current Environmental Codes and improve my written communication skills.

I have enclosed my resume with a complete overview of my skills and training for your perusal. I feel that I would make a positive contribution to B.I.G. Geotechnical, and welcome the opportunity to discuss this with you in person. Please feel free to contact me at 555-5555, or by email at jane@hotmail.com. Thank you for considering my application,
